Detail solution
-
There are multiple ways to do this integral.
Method #1
-
Let u=x.
Then let du=2xdx and substitute du:
∫(2u2−2u)du
-
Integrate term-by-term:
-
The integral of a constant times a function is the constant times the integral of the function:
∫2u2du=2∫u2du
-
The integral of un is n+1un+1 when n=−1:
∫u2du=3u3
So, the result is: 32u3
-
The integral of a constant times a function is the constant times the integral of the function:
∫(−2u)du=−2∫udu
-
The integral of un is n+1un+1 when n=−1:
∫udu=2u2
So, the result is: −u2
The result is: 32u3−u2
Now substitute u back in:
32x23−x
Method #2
-
Rewrite the integrand:
x+1x−1=x+1x−x+11
-
Integrate term-by-term:
-
Let u=x.
Then let du=2xdx and substitute 2du:
∫u+12u3du
-
The integral of a constant times a function is the constant times the integral of the function:
∫u+1u3du=2∫u+1u3du
-
Rewrite the integrand:
u+1u3=u2−u+1−u+11
-
Integrate term-by-term:
-
The integral of un is n+1un+1 when n=−1:
∫u2du=3u3
-
The integral of a constant times a function is the constant times the integral of the function:
∫(−u)du=−∫udu
-
The integral of un is n+1un+1 when n=−1:
∫udu=2u2
So, the result is: −2u2
-
The integral of a constant is the constant times the variable of integration:
∫1du=u
-
The integral of a constant times a function is the constant times the integral of the function:
∫(−u+11)du=−∫u+11du
-
Let u=u+1.
Then let du=du and substitute du:
∫u1du
-
The integral of u1 is log(u).
Now substitute u back in:
log(u+1)
So, the result is: −log(u+1)
The result is: 3u3−2u2+u−log(u+1)
So, the result is: 32u3−u2+2u−2log(u+1)
Now substitute u back in:
32x23+2x−x−2log(x+1)
-
The integral of a constant times a function is the constant times the integral of the function:
∫(−x+11)dx=−∫x+11dx
-
Let u=x.
Then let du=2xdx and substitute 2du:
∫u+12udu
-
The integral of a constant times a function is the constant times the integral of the function:
∫u+1udu=2∫u+1udu
-
Rewrite the integrand:
u+1u=1−u+11
-
Integrate term-by-term:
-
The integral of a constant is the constant times the variable of integration:
∫1du=u
-
The integral of a constant times a function is the constant times the integral of the function:
∫(−u+11)du=−∫u+11du
-
Let u=u+1.
Then let du=du and substitute du:
∫u1du
-
The integral of u1 is log(u).
Now substitute u back in:
log(u+1)
So, the result is: −log(u+1)
The result is: u−log(u+1)
So, the result is: 2u−2log(u+1)
Now substitute u back in:
2x−2log(x+1)
So, the result is: −2x+2log(x+1)
The result is: 32x23−x
-
Add the constant of integration:
32x23−x+constant
The answer is:
32x23−x+constant
